If you've ever felt like no matter how much self-work you do, you still end up in the same patterns—this episode is for you. Ellie and Aimee are back in the studio, fresh from their Sacred Union weekend, reflecting on one of the biggest revelations of their work: awareness alone is not enough. You can read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, and even go to therapy—but without the right community, deep transformation remains just out of reach. In this conversation, they share their personal journeys of healing within sisterhood, why we were never meant to do this alone, and how community is the missing piece in feminine embodiment. They also extend an invitation into Feminine Reclamation, their signature mentorship program, designed to take this work beyond awareness and into embodied transformation. If you're feeling called into deeper support, real sisterhood, and a space where you don't have to hold it all alone—this is your invitation. Key Themes & Highlights: Why Awareness Isn't Enough – The truth about why self-awareness alone won't break your patterns or create lasting change. The Cost of Isolation – Why so many women struggle with intimacy, trust, and feminine embodiment when they try to "figure it out" alone. How Sisterhood Heals – The profound impact of being seen, witnessed, and held by women who won't let you shrink. Ellie's Personal Reckoning – A raw, behind-the-scenes look at how she confronted her own resistance to support and what finally shifted everything. Releasing the Teacher-Student Dynamic – The radical shift in their leadership model and why they refuse to be put on a pedestal. The Invitation Into Feminine Reclamation – What it looks like to walk this path in an intimate, high-level mentorship space where transformation isn't just possible—it's inevitable.

What does it really mean to embody the Queen? In this episode, we're diving into the Queen archetype—not as a title you achieve, but as a way of being.

If you've ever found yourself trying to fix, manage, or lead a man, or wondering why relationships feel exhausting rather than deeply nourishing—this conversation is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: Why being the Queen isn't about perfection—but about showing up fully in your power How to shift from control, chasing, and overgiving to trust, magnetism, and deep receiving The key patterns keeping women stuck in their immature feminine psychology The role of community and sisterhood in feminine transformation (why you can't do this alone) What it means to be great with men—and how this changes everything in love & relationships This episode is an invitation to step into your Queen energy and explore what it means to be a fully embodied, sovereign woman.

This week we sat down with Ellie's husband Rob, who candidly shared his perspective on the pitfalls of social media and marketing (this is NOT your typical conversation about these topics!). We discussed our responsibility as facilitators of transformational work and how we can share our work with integrity. Whether you're in the coaching industry or not, we think you'll get a lot from this conversation and examining if your use of social media is serving you or not.   Join us IN-PERSON for Sacred Union: our 3-day immersion for women & men (singles AND couples!), taking place January 17-19, 2025 in Austin, TX: www.SacredUnion.live   Sign up for our mailing list: https://desireonfire.kartra.com/page/NEWSLETTER Explore our website: https://www.desireonfire.com/ Come and join our FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Dofcommunity And connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desireonfire/   Connect with Aimee: Check out my instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/aimeebatuski/ Connect with Ellie: Check out my instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/elliemontgomerie

On this week's podcast episode, Ellie, Rob and Aimee dive into a conversation that invites us to take a deeper look into everyday relationship dynamics. From sharing hard-earned wisdom from our own journeys, to dissecting the patterns we see playing out in the popular show "Nobody Wants This," to questionable dynamics we've observed on social media… we leave no stone unturned! Our conversation digs into potential societal shifts, where evolving gender roles require a delicate balance. What's required for men to step into their purpose as protectors and providers, while women embody their "soft power" and feminine essence, without burning out? In the light of such profound insights, we announce our exciting upcoming event, the (co-ed!!) Sacred Union weekend, set for January in Austin, Texas. The anticipation builds as we invite our listeners to join us on this transformational journey. It's a three-day event where we'll be diving deep into relationships, healing, and personal growth. We're so excited to share this experience with you all.   Sign up to join us IN-PERSON for Sacred Union: our 3-day immersion for women & men, taking place January 17-19, 2025 in Austin, TX: www.SacredUnion.live Sign up for our mailing list: https://desireonfire.kartra.com/page/NEWSLETTER Explore our website: https://www.desireonfire.com/ Come and join our FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Dofcommunity And connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desireonfire/   Connect with Aimee: Check out my instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/aimeebatuski/ Connect with Ellie: Check out my instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/elliemontgomerie

It's the end of an era. One year ago, we had no idea this was coming. And today, it seems like the most obvious thing in the world. The chapter of Desire on Fire is coming to an end. And with this death, comes an exciting and powerful re-birth. We have been going through such an intense metamorphosis over the last year, both personally and professionally. While Ellie's been gestating a baby, we've been gestating this re-brand, re-birth. Though our women's work isn't going anywhere, it became clear that the time has come to let go of our brand and business as we've known it, to make space for a new depth and frequency of our women's work, and to create space for the men's path, and co-ed work, within our community. So, we are letting Desire on Fire die, and we are going into the void for the next three months, while Ellie is on maternity leave and Aimee's focusing on dating and making space for love & partnership. And in the spaciousness, we're opening to receive the name of our new co-ed company. We're totally open to your name ideas!  Thank you for participating in our community and receiving our work so openly, as Desire on Fire. We're so grateful and excited to move through this big relationSHIFT with you. Thank you for being along for the ride with us.

Hey, beautiful souls! This week's episode feels vulnerable, yet important, to share with all of you. I, Aimee, am letting you in on the intimate journey I've been on that's led me to decide to have a cosmetic surgery procedure. I'm revealing my fears, feelings, and perspective-changes along the way, that led me to finally gifting myself something I've wanted for nearly a decade! In this solo podcast, I share how my views on beauty, radiance, vanity and self-love have transformed and evolved over time. I also explore the pitfalls of the body positivity movement and the nuances and complexities of wanting to be a "natural" woman, embracing her organic beauty, while also doing things to improve, upgrade and modify our body & appearance, in order to feel attractive, healthy and confident. I hope this episode is valuable, and challenges your perspectives and beliefs around beauty, plastic surgery, body-love, and how you source your radiance!

Hi Desire on Fire fam! Ellie here. This week's episode is all about celebrating new beginnings, because we're diving deep into something you may have seen us share online and wondered about: the beautiful world of baby blessing ceremonies.
